Liberty baseball coach Andy Pitsilos said he wasn't at all surprised when Hurricanes senior Jake Unangst came through with a clutch effort in the team's Eastern Pennsylvania Conference showdown last week against Parkland.

"Jake's been stepping up all year," Pitsilos said.

Unangst went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI in Liberty's 5-2 triumph over Parkland and he played a key role in three other wins last week as well.

The right fielder went into Thursday's game against Pocono Mountain East batting .375 through nine games. With its loss Thursday, Liberty is now 8-2 overall and 6-1 in EPC play.

Unangst is the Coordinated Health Athlete of the Week.

"He pretty much won the Hazleton game [on Saturday] with two diving catches in the outfield," Pitsilos said. "He can do a lot of things on the field — he can play small-ball, he can hit, he plays very good defense and he can run. He's been on a real good streak for us."

Unangst said he plans to study finance at West Chester University and will play fall baseball for the Rams. He has a 3.8 GPA at Liberty.
